About our service in Campo de Ourique
Campo de Ourique is built of four- and five-storey blocks, nearly all without a lift, put up when nobody imagined what would go down a toilet today. The original clay and cast-iron discharge pipes were sized for paper and little else. Wipes sold as biodegradable do not break up in water: the fibre stays whole, wraps itself around the first bend or catches on a rough joint, and forms a plug that holds back everything arriving behind it. It is the single cause we meet most often when we open a stack in this neighbourhood, frequently bound together with dental floss and hair. The second local pattern comes from refurbishment. Many bathrooms and kitchens have been redone over the years, and not always with attention to the thing that matters most: the fall. A run laid almost level, a trap swapped for one of a different height, or a tight ninety-degree connection all make the water crawl and the residue settle in the same place every time. In those cases the blockage comes back every few months, and unblocking it again only buys time. With the camera we show you where the water is standing and explain what correction breaks the cycle, even when that means saying the problem will not be solved by any machine. Working here also asks for some logistics. With no lift, all the equipment goes up on our backs, and in the streets around the market and the Rua Ferreira Borges parking near the door is not always possible. We arrange that beforehand, protect stairs and floors, and leave the area clean at the end. For the shops and cafés of the neighbourhood we agree quieter hours. We are available Monday to Saturday, from nine in the morning to eight in the evening, we give priority to anyone who already has water on the floor, and we say frankly when a visit is only possible the following morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pipe unclogging in Campo de Ourique:
Can biodegradable wipes go down the toilet?
No. The label refers to breaking down eventually under particular conditions, not in the water of your drain. The fibre reaches the first bend intact and catches. The same goes for dental floss, cotton buds and food scraps put down the toilet.
My kitchen sink blocks every couple of months. Is that normal?
It is not, and unblocking it again will not fix it. Repetition nearly always points to insufficient fall, a badly sized trap or a deformed section. We use the camera to see where the water stops and tell you what needs correcting.
How is the cost of the work worked out?
It depends on the outlet affected, the floor and the absence of a lift, the condition of the pipework and the equipment required. We assess from photographs on WhatsApp or on a site visit and present a no-obligation quote.
